Measuring time sensitivity in a project: The significance index
Submitted by Mario Vanhoucke on Tue, 12/06/2011 - 15:38Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) is a simple yet effective technique to connect the risk information of project activities to the baseline schedule, in order to provide sensitivity information of individual project activities to assess the potential impact of uncertainty on the final project duration. A traditional schedule risk analysis requires four steps, as described in “Schedule Risk Analysis: How to measure your baseline schedule’s sensitivity?”, to report activity sensitivity measures that evaluate each activity’s time estimate on a scale of risk. These sensitivity measures can be used by the project manager to distinguish between risky and non-risky activities in order to better focus on those activities that might have an impact on the overall project objective.
